What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Thanks for all your efforts, Mr Rowen. Any suggestions for plans of action might be the next necessary step. Your experience is appreciated.
Thank you for the comment. Taking a look at some issues in the list here - - http://thepoliticalenvironment.blogspot.com/2013/12/going-into-2014-goptea-party-agenda-is.html - - it seems that financial and media support for the groups involved is imperative. IN WI, that means Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, mining opponents, etc.
